Figs
White Chocolate Mousse
Brown Butter Almond Crumb
Method
Preparing the Figs
Making the White Chocolate Mousse
Melting the Chocolate
In a heatproof bowl, melt the white chocolate over a double boiler until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Whipping the Cream
In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Set aside.
Beating the Egg Whites
In another bowl, beat the egg whites with granulated sugar until stiff peaks form.
Combining Ingredients
Gently fold the melted white chocolate into the whipped cream. Then, fold in the beaten egg whites until fully combined and smooth.
Chilling the Mousse
Transfer the mousse into individual serving cups or a large dish and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
Making the Brown Butter Almond Crumb
Browning the Butter
In a saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Continue cooking until the butter turns golden brown and has a nutty aroma. Be careful not to burn it.
Combining Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine chopped almonds, browned butter, all-purpose flour, and brown sugar. Mix until crumbly.
Baking the Crumb
Spread the mixture on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Let it cool.
